COMBNED TOY AND (ll-IMNEY.

Application filed Zane 29, 1922. Serial No. 571,783.

To all whom z5 may conce/m.'

Be it known that i, donn J. BEAULTNN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Everett, in the county of Snohomish and State of `i/Vashington, have invented certain new and useful improvements in a Combined Toy Fireplace and Chimney, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in combined toy fireplaces and chimneys.

The prime object of this invention is t-o provide a movable toy' fireplace and chimney which may be folded up and compactly stored when not in use and at the same time may be set up next to the wall of a room in such position as to resemble a replace and to be used for children at Christmas and holiday times or whenever a toy fireplace might be used for shows or entertainments A further object of the invention is to provide a toy fireplace and chimney of the above stated character, which when assembled has the parts securely locked in engagement with each otherv to provide a rigid structure.

A still further object of the invention is to provide a toy of the above stated character, which is simple in construction, durable, amusing, and one that can be manufactured and sold at a relatively low cost.

These and like objects of the invention will be better understood as the kdescription follows and as is specifically pointed out in the appended claim.

Referring to the accompanying drawing which forms a part of this specification and which clearly illustrates the construction of my improved toy fireplace and chimney,

Figure 1 is a front perspective view of a fireplace and chimney constructed in accordance with my invention.

Figure 2 is a plan view of the various parts used in the construction of my improved fireplace and chimney, and

Figure 3 is a sectional detail view showing the locking means between the various parts.

Referring to the drawing in detail, like characters will be used to designate like parts in the diierent views.

In the drawing, the numeral 1 indicates the front wall of my toy replace. The front wall as well as other parts which are used to construct the toy fireplace and chimney are made of tin, and have the outside face of each part painted to represent bricks, or paper having bricks printed thereon, can be used to cover the front of each part. The' front walll is provided centrally at the lower edge of same with an opening to represent the open front of a fireplace. The y front wall is provided at the upper edge and side edges with locking tongues 2, which are adapted to engage slots 3 formed adjacent the edges of the side walls 1. The side walls e are positioned against the edges of thel front platevl at a right angle positioned thereto, as is clearly indicated in Figure 1, and after which the locking tongues 2are bent against the face of the side walls 1,y to firmly lock the front plate and side walls together. Locking tongues 5 are formed on the upper edge of each of the side walls 4C' and coact with the locking tongues 2 formed on the upper vedge of the front plate for firmly locking a mantel 6 to thev top of the front plate and side walls, by means of the slotted apertures 7 in the mantel 6. After the fireplace has been assembled as above stated, the same is moved' against a wall, which acts as a back plate for same, as is indicated in Figure 1.

A chimney, comprising a front wall 8 having locking tongues 9 on each side edge of same engages side walls 10 by means of slotted apertures 11 formed adjacent one accompanying drawing, it is thought thatany further explanation as to the construction and objects of same are unnecessary.v

While I have shown and described the preferred form of my combined fireplace and chimney, I realize that various minor changes may be resorted to, without def' parting from the spirit and scope of the' inventionv as claimed, and therefore, 1 do not Wish to limit rnyseltl to the exact details of construction shown, .nor to the combination and arrangements ot' parts. y

What I Claim as new and desire'to secure by Letters Patent is:

' A toy replaoe and chimney comprising' a fro-nt Wall, side Walls havingl slots formed therein adj aeent the side edges thereof; the

front Wall being provided centrally at the,

lower edge thereof with an opening vtor representingl the open -front o the lireplace, locking tongues provided von the front Wall at the upper and side edges thereof for engaging the Slots formed adjacent Vthe edges of the side Walls, a mantel irmly locked between the top ot the front plate and side walls, a'ehimney including a front wall Wit-l1 side Walls arranged at. right angles to the frontwall and'means torse# eurely locking said front and side Walls together, said chimney being positioned on top of the mantel thereby Completinga. coinhined .tireplaee and chimney.

In testimony whereof, I have alltixed `my signature in the pres'el'ie'e of two Witnesses.
